| Green Co.. IN tnelr report on cotton flu
| lures, say: The opening was quiet but
steady, with liberal transactions IN March
contracts. In fact, it might be termed a
| March session, as fully $4,000 bales were
| transferred to April and more distant posi-
| lions. Beyond this switching, new business
| was probably the smallest in a very long
l
| large volume of notices still loatlng."

centred more than usual in more deferred
futures. The principal feature oil the markel
was the lesslnIng OF premiums on deliveTi5s
beyond May, and the reason given for that il
that MAY shorts have covered freely and
again put out large lines for longer deliveries
